Here is the story of a weight lifter that has made enough action movies to allow him to buy the governors office in California. What a saga. He then wishes to be the "Global Warming" ambassador... obviously subscribing to the 'global warming' myth in order to win votes. Only in California.. eh? So, I'm guessing then that he thinks we can regulate the sun perhaps? Regardless, this is a tactic that is entirely self-absorbed and self-centered. Win the election at any cost! Go Team Go!

Schwarzenegger has made global warming his signature environmental issue and is eager to sign a climate measure before he faces the state's Democratic-leaning electorate in November. It also would be another way for him to set himself apart from President Bush, who has opposed regulating global warming gases and is deeply unpopular in California. "He hopes to have a bill on his desk this year that he can sign," spokesman Darrel Ng said, "but he wants to make sure it can be in a way that protects the economy and the environment." At the same time, the Republican governor must tread carefully in the face of criticism from his own party for even considering signing legislation that businesses oppose. "This noble goal of reducing greenhouse emissions and making energy use more efficient could backfire," said Dorothy Rothrock, a spokeswoman for the California Manufacturers and Technology Association. "It could hurt the economy and drive emissions outside California, thereby not improving the situation." Schwarzenegger's gubernatorial opponent, Democratic state Treasurer Phil Angelides, said Wednesday that the changes Schwarzenegger has requested would create only a voluntary plan. "He's trying to gut this bill so he can claim an election-year victory, and the people of California and the environment will be left holding the bag for yet another broken promise," Angelides said.
